Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show – Utilizing Social Media

Today’s the day, the one men around the world have been waiting for, the one fashion show that they are willing to watch. Why you might ask? Well it’s the Victoria’s Secret Fashion show for cripes sake! Advertising has been running for the past few months in anticipation for the new Victoria’s Secret line that in the past has included multimillion dollar bras in exhibition. Television is one of the most prominent ways of marketing with the ability to show the models strutting their stuff, social media has given individuals the chance to directly be part of the action!

An online application has been created for android and iPhone devices that allows you to turn yourself into an Angel. Wings are added every week and with a quick snapshot of yourself, you can turn yourself into a Victoria’s Secret Angel, or at least a close runner up. A few months ago I also came across a Facebook page dedicated to the retailers new women’s workout clothing line. Marketers notice that with men and women lusting over the Angels tight cores, there could be a great way to not only market the new clothing line but also highlight the upcoming fashion show. VSX sport Facebook page created a “Train Like an Angel” application that provides videos on the type of workouts models use to get runway ready. Eight workout challenges were posted all leading up to the big fashion show. Not only was this an extraordinary way to advertise but it got customers involved in the action! Not to mention the workouts are easy to do, require minimal equipment, and gives VSX exposure.

This is one of the more fun ways to get involved in social media, I’ll admit that I gave a couple of the workouts a try and it is worth hitting the like button to have workout videos at your fingertips.
